A little bit of spice to flavor the pot. |
I've never really gone camping or otherwise gone out into the great outdoors. The only time that barely comes close is one time I went on a church Core trip. It wasn't even my regular church but it was the only one that fit with our schedule. They had some group stuff that was not overall bad. But it can be intimidating sometimes being part of a group who know each other when you don't know many yourself. It was a little teeny bit scary being away from home. Even it was just for a few days. I especially can remember when this girl Jennifer dressed up as big foot to scare everybody. That was memorable. I'm glad to say I went and got a bit closer to my spirituality. There's not too much I can say for the outdoors other than I really don't see myself as ever being the outdoors type. But I applaud people who are. I just can't say that will ever be me. |
At what point is too much? This week a man opened fire and barricaded himself inside an abortion clinic . What death is justified? Is any? Cops get shot, babies get murdered; reproductive rights versus gun rights, coming to a head...what's your spin? Don't hold back, bloggers...the 30DBC only has one more day left in November. It just seems that nowadays, there's a shooting every other day or so. In the case of the abortion clinic shooting, I have to wonder if there was some mental illness involved. Or it could just be a he made a poor decision he'll have to stand accounted for. I know some people were killed that day, though not exactly how many. Loss of life is tragic regardless of who they are. I don't know if any loss of life can ever really be justified. In the case of abortion, the babies didn't have any say in being born than they did being forced out of the womb. I don't think that justifies that man shooting people in that clinic. |
I'm not sure what to say. I know that writing.com provides an outlet for me. It gives me something to look forward. Even on a bad day, I can come here and feel better. I don't know if it's necessarily anything that I've done personally or if writing has helped improve me. I think I officially joined writing.com around the same time I started my first semester of college. So, it helped get me through that trying time. Retaking Eng. 1 and Math was a set back for me. At the time, I thought it meant I was a failure. But I redid it, I liked my teachers made a friend, so it's all good. I just have to finish this semester and that whatever happens is not the end for me. I just keep on going. |
I'd say generally warm weather since I don't like freezing my butt off. The only real down side is when the AC breaks down in summer. Damn, that sucks. Otherwise, it can get warm in Florida but you can stay inside where it's not as bad. Usually, staying hydrated, turn the fans on, turn the lights off. Try to dress light so as not to overheat. Get some popsicles, it's alright. As for when it gets cooler, drink hot chocolate, bundle up, stay under the covers, have plenty of soup. Use dogs for extra hot water bottles as necessary. |
Lice cold/flu/etc. getting a period when the computer's on the fritz work on the weekends mosquitos my dog's allergies Just to get a few out there. |
Dang,I might be considered a wallflower. If I knew someone I might say hi. I am making little steps toward meeting people. Slowly but steady, to be sure. Getting snacks can be a way to communicate with others. Bonding over food, classic conversation starter. Maybe if there's dancing I'd join in. But maybe more of a group thing. I'd feel awkward by myself. I wouldn't want to leech off other people and their conversations. I never really knew how to deal with those kinds of situations. You knew Bob, but he was off talking to Jill and Cal and you didn't want to be rude and interrupt. You didn't know them, so you'd keep walking. That was kind of me. I'm gradually trying to improve, but there's work involved. Pass the chips. |
I can't honestly tell if it has. Maybe here and there, but no great overall change. Some days, I still feel like a little trapped in a college girl's body. If there's any improvement to my fashion choices it's got little to do with me. My mom is more in the know of fashion than me. There are some things that I couldn't see myself wearing b/c I didn't feel I could pull it off. I still don't think my fashion sense has improved much, if at all. |

Daphne sings about an abusive ex she used to have. He was possessive and resorted to stalking her even after she left. This song is her way of stating that she's done with him and starting over. She isn't afraid of him anymore and knows she can't change/fix him. She starting fresh and letting the past go. This song allows her to express all the feelings she couldn't before in her abusive relationship. It's also a warning for others in the same situation to get out before it's too late.

Divorce is not recognized by God. Yet, it's almost a trend here in the US. You get kicked to a curb when you lose your youth and beauty, which some up ties up to being your worth as a human being. Divorce I believe is justified if a spouse is being abusive, or won't stop cheating. I think drug/alcohol would be a deal breaker if they didn't make an attempt to quit. I don't want to be an enabler of a health hazard. I had a teacher who married in her 20's and then got divorced 2 years later. Divorce seems to now be an excuse for just about any offense. Regardless if b/c of a real problem or some asinine thing like mid-life crisis. I really don't get that at all. I feel that as long as the child is loved and cared for, that the sex of the parents shouldn't matter all that much. Just being raised by a same sex couple doesn't guarantee they'll turn out the same. Any more than a child from straight parents is guaranteed to be straight. |

I had thought of making a series of Violet and her puppy great Dane Alex. I don't know where that idea came from. But back in elementary, I had a lot of ideas that kept my imagination going. I guess I could always do something smaller, it may be easier than writing something bigger. I've kind of dreamed of being a writer. I'm a big reader and even if it was only one I'd know I did something I've wanted to do for a while. There was this kid in middle school who'd made a book based off Indiana Jones. I'm not sure how he accomplished that. But it got me thinking it he could, maybe there was a chance I could. |
